poverty level for the number of individuals in the household as computed annually
by the U.S.Government or the City; or

Section 21.49.055
|
|
A. Medium general service is general service
provided to customers who have in the previous calendar year half or
more than half of the normal billings at 50 kW of maximum demand or
greater and have more than half of their normal billings at less
than 1,000 kW of maximum demand. Classification of new customers
will be based on Seattle City Light's estimate of maximum demand in
the current year.
|
|
B. For customers metered on the primary side of
a transformer, Seattle City Light will either program the meter to
deduct computed transformer losses or provide a discount for
transformer losses by reducing the monthly kWh billed by the number
of kWh computed in Section 21.49.055, Subsection A.
|
|
C. For customers who provide their own
transformation from City Light's standard distribution system
voltage of 4 kV, 13 kV, or 26 kV to a utilization voltage, a
discount for transformer investment will be provided in the amount
stated in Section 21.49.055, Subsection A.
|
|
D. Seattle City Light will provide
one transformation from the available
distribution system voltage of 4 kV or higher to a standard service
voltage, and metering normally will be at the service voltage level.
However, if the Department determines that it is either uneconomical
or impractical to meter at the service voltage level, the Department
will meter at the distribution voltage level and will either program
the meter to deduct computed transformer looses or will reduce the
monthly kWh billed by the amount of the discount for transformer
losses.
If the customer elects to receive service
from Seattle City Light's available distribution system voltage of 4
kV or higher, metering will be at the distribution voltage level and
the discounts for transformer losses, if applicable, and for
transformer investment, if applicable, will be applied to the
customer's billings. However, if the Department determines that it
is either uneconomical or impractical to meter at the distribution
voltage level, the Department will meter at the service voltage
level and the discount for transformer losses will not be
applicable.

SCHEDULE VRC
|
|
VARIABLE RATE GENERAL SERVICE
|
|
SCHEDULE VRC is an optional rate schedule for high demand general service
provided to customers eligible to be served under
Schedule HDC. A
customer that chooses this rate schedule may not return to a
standard rate schedule for a period of 1 year after electing this
schedule, provided that, should a new rate ordinance which changes
Schedule VRC be adopted during this time, the customer may request
return to a standard rate schedule on the effective date of the new
ordinance.
At the time a customer elects to take
service under Schedule VRC, the customer must choose whether to pay
an energy charge as defined in Option 1 -- DJ-COB
or Option 2 -- DJ Mid-Columbia. After
choosing an energy charge option, a customer may not choose a
different energy charge option for a period of 1 year except that,
should a new rate ordinance which changes Schedule VRC be adopted
during this time, the customer may request a change in energy charge
option upon the effective date of the new ordinance or may request
return to a standard rate schedule upon the effective date of the
new ordinance.
|
|
Energy Charge:
|
|
Option 1 -- DJ-COB
(DJ-COB price in ¢/kWh - 0.07¢/kWh) x 1.1562 + 0.15¢/kWh
The DJ-COB (Dow Jones-California Oregon Border) price is the appropriate peak
or off-peak DJ-COB firm price converted to cents per kWh for the day and time
period of the consumption. Peak and off-peak periods will be as defined by the
DJ-COB price rather than as defined in the Demand Charges section of
Schedule VRC or elsewhere in the ordinance codified in this section.
In the case that a price is not available for a given day, the
average of the preceding and following days' prices will be used.
Peak and off-peak prices will be calculated separately via this
method.
|
|
Option 2 -- DJ Mid-Columbia (DJ-Mid-Columbia Price in ¢/kWh) x 1.1562 +
0.15¢/kWh
The DJ Mid-Columbia (Dow Jones Mid-Columbia)
price is the appropriate firm peak or off-peak DJ Mid-Columbia price
index converted to cents per kWh for the day and time period of the
consumption. Peak and off-peak periods will be as defined by the DJ
Mid-Columbia price index rather than as defined in the Demand
Charges section of Schedule VRC or elsewhere in this ordinance. In
the case that a price is not available for a given day, the average
of the preceding and following days' prices will be used. Peak and
off-peak prices will be calculated separately via this
method.
